A blind accessibility writer says sighted people have been asking where to download audio-described TV shows to listen like audiobooks on long car trips, and has been directing them to an audio vault service. The exchange suggests audio description, designed for blind audiences, is finding a wider audience as a spoken alternative to podcasts during travel.
Why now: The novelty of sighted people using accessibility formats for entertainment is prompting discussion about audio description's wider appeal.
